PLUSFLEET is a solution that reduces operating costs and travel planning time, up to 80%.

This enables the identification of the fastest and most optimal routes in seconds and eliminates the problems associated with the organization of the journey. The manager can optimize and plan another driver.

That's not all, our solution also allows us to verify the compliance of data from invoices from carriers. The route calculator allows you to configure such features as the dimensions of the vehicle or its weight and uses the API HERE in order to calculate the route to be offered to the user. The web application integrates with HereMaps and allows you to calculate travel costs taking into account all the necessary parameters.
